Thank you very much for this enjoyable and informative video. I'm new to this and just learning so I have a few questions. Why are we sure that stuffing is the best method? In this video we learn that folding can cause lines and tension in the bag. However; 1) to avoid the repeated strain of folding we choose a more irregular stuffing method, but if we always stuff it in the same way, by starting at the feet and working our way round, doesn't this too become rather regular? 2) Folding and squeezing the air out can put pressure on the bag, but doesn't punching the bag and stuffing it in do the same? I don't feel comfortable punching my Rab Down 600 XL right now. If anybody can answer these questions if be really appreciative as I am just starting out :)!
@SnowysOutdoors Жыл бұрын
Sleeping bags work by having lofty insulation to trap air and keep you warm. folding and rolling compresses the insulation flat. Stuffing helps the insulation to keep some loft, and ultimately increases the lifespan of your sleeping bag. Even if you stuff from foot end, its impossible to stuff the sleeping bag in exactly the same way everytime, with folds and compressions being in exactly the same spots everytime. Just wouldn't ever happen. Punching and stuffing keeps a certain level of loft, its still compression, but compression in a full 360, instead of sandwich compression which flattens the insulation - in your case down. If you roll and fold your down sleeping bag, you'll reduce the lifespan and efficiency of its insulation. If you have a down sleeping bag it should have come with a storage cell, which is significantly larger and leaves the sleeping big and soft and fluffy between uses. You shouldn't be packing your down sleeping bag as the video demonstrates, between trips when its just sitting in your shed or cupboard. ~ Lauren

I suggest that you fold about 30 cm of a synthetic bag, from the foot end of the bag, across one of your forearms. Place the stuff sack between your feet. Then push the folded foot end of the bag into the stuff sack so it fits snugly into the bottom. Then stuff the bag into the sack, taking a quarter turn after each push to obtain a constant fill of the sack.Should you want to use the compression straps, to reduce the size, then place one of your knees onto the top of the sack and with your body weight the sack will reduce in size. This allows you to pull on the compression sacks. Do not over tighten these straps. I would also not do up the zips on any of the sleeping bags; it could cause the zip teeth to distort, or break.

If your sleeping bag sack is a compression sack you should be 100% ok to squish it as much as you're physically able.

Hi DjPepelicious, you're best storing a down bag uncompressed in a breathable bag, this allows for the down to remain lofted and keeps things dry and fresh. Most good down bags will come with a cotton or mesh storage sack that will accommodate the bag is a loosely packed fashion. If your bag does not have one of these then you can use a large pillowcase or similar, then store it in the top of a cupboard or somewhere it won't be too squashed in. ~ Ben

@SnowysOutdoors6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, good point BigKev. The Rivergum Sleeping Bags come with zippered storage sacks that are not conducive to stuffing. The same principle still applies though, I guess you can mitigate repetitive folding by packing it up slightly differently each time so the folds fall in different spots, or do the zip up part way on the storage bag and stuff it in being careful not to damage the zip. Alternatively, find yourself a stuff sack and use that instead. I'm not sure why some manufacturers use zippered bags, stuff sacks have always been my preference. ~ Ben
